199 106. Lomania -1 Part Two

**

When Lome kingdom’s nobles arrived in the audience chamber, they were greeted by the sight of First Prince Barus and Second Prince Derian kneeling on the floor.

“Y-your highness…?!”

I figured that this scene must’ve seemed rather incomprehensible to these nobles.

The leader of the rebels, the First Prince, being here was one thing, but then, the sight of the Second Prince kneeling like this must be quite shocking to them, as well.

The Paladins brandished their holy spears and pointed them at the gathered nobles.

“What is the meaning of this?!”

“Could it be that the Theocratic Empire is trying to invade our Lome Kingdom…?!”

It didn’t matter whether you were a prince or a member of the Imperial Family, you wouldn’t be able to keep your head from such a serious crime.

“Is there anyone who’s not convinced now?”

The nobles stared at Derian with looks of disbelief clearly etched on their faces.

I used [Mind’s Eye] to check out the gathered nobles, but as expected, it wasn’t possible to find out if there were any other collaborators hidden among them. And there were no Vampires either.

I glanced at Rose Darina next.

She lightly bowed her head at me and offered a simple greeting, “It’s been a while, Seventh Imperial Prince Allen Olfolse.”

I couldn’t help but frown at her current attitude.

She was rather relaxed for some reason. She must’ve known that once we dragged her back home, her head would go flying away. And yet, I couldn’t see a single hint of anxiety or nervousness from her at all.

I turned my head and stared at Charlotte.

I tried to remember what Derian had told me earlier.

-O-of course it was me who sent the assassins. However, I was merely told to do it, that’s all!

Apparently, it wasn’t his decision alone to send the assassins.

-It was Raiden. He told me to do it. He said that it’s the best way to unite the Lome Kingdom into one… He even told me that he could do something about the Theocratic Empire by himself!

Hang on, Raiden did what?

A dazed expression floated up on my face.

Derian, Rose, and those low-calibre assassins.

This feeling that the Vampires simply handed everything over to me…
